You can get a well looked after GSR750 for under £5000 now, which is good value if you want a no frills middleweight naked bike, and aren’t bothered about having the sportiest one in the class. As you expect from a ‘budget’ middleweight it’s sparsely decked out.
How reliable is the GSX-R750?
Reliability isn’t an issue from the GSX-R750 derived engine. Suzuki have obviously tried to keep costs low, but there are no glaring areas of shoddy budget manufacturing or componentry.
What makes a Suzuki GSR 105bhp?
Suzuki adjusted the cam profiles, tailored the valves, inlet and exhaust ports and gave the cylinder head iridium spark plugs for improved ignition. The end result is a quoted 105bhp with 59ftlb of torque. It’s enough to make the GSR a fun and engaging bike, but next to the competition it’s lacking slightly.
What kind of engine does a Suzuki GSX R750 have?
The 749cc in-line four-cylinder engine started life in Suzuki’s 2005 GSX-R750. The motor received a significant makeover to improve low-rpm to midrange performance and torque – at the cost of top end power.
How fast does the Suzuki GSX-R750 go?
I set out on a 200-mile round-trip along the A303 to see what the GSR750 made of it. The GSR750 cruises comfortably between 85 and 90mph. The de-tuned GSX-R750 motor isn’t exactly packed with thrills but it’ll deliver, mile after mile and even in top gear at 90mph its got plenty of extra roll-on power.
What does the 30bhp mean for the GSR750?
The extra fizz, in the form of 30bhp, has been engineered out of the GSX-R750 motor to make the GSR750’s lump more real-world usable. Gone is the mad eyeball-distorting rush, replaced with what the police might call ‘making efficient progress’.
